I've been meaning to write this for ages, but never seemed to get round to it. Now I have (obviously), so you're stuck with it. Ha!

Quite a quick chapter to start off with, I really wanted to post it, see what people thought, and get on with it, so as I said, it's a little quick this time, but rest assured, they will be longer in future.

(Note: When I say Werewolves, I mean as in Tooth & Claw, not New Moon. I prefer the Werewolf in Tooth & Claw, it just seems better to me. No offence to Twilight/New Moon lovers out there. *Damn sparkly vampires*)

Dedicated to Noofle (Who put up with my logic), Fi3fi3 (coz her logic is worse than mine, and that's saying something) and to Chameleon Circuit (just because their music is amazing, I seriously reccomend it).


Moonlight.

His Mother and protector. She was always there, in his dreams, his every thought, even inside his body. He was born of moonlight, this time was his time. She shone down on him, ever-present, enhancing his senses, shaping his body and thoughts and soul, turning him towards his purpose. She lent him Her powers, as Her body, as the embodiment of Her light, and the darkness She banished from the world.

The pitiful orange glow came closer, trying in vain to overcome the bright sliver that was his Mother's light. Humans were approaching, coming on the hunt. He pitied them. They could never understand the true meaning of the hunt. Never could they feel the power coursing through his lean body, the rush of the wind and trees flying past him as he ran towards his target.

Targets were always chosen for a reason, those who had no purpose, who barely existed, whom no light of any kind would ever shine on again at all. He would give them a better life, a new life, filled with light and power and purpose.

Yet these humans wanted to stop him, halt him in the pursuit of his purpose. They never would, never could, understand him, and the gift he and his Mother could bestow on them. They chose instead to hunt him, trying to push him away, not realising that they had no hope of ever overcoming him. Not completely. Now they had stolen a part of his Mother, Her very essence, infused with cold, hard, cruel metal. His Mother's gift, turned against him, used by the very ones he was trying to turn. The injustice made his fur bristle, and he growled quietly.

A voice, inside his head. His target was near. Time to hunt.

From his current haunt on the tallest spire, he could see all, his eyes scanning all his surroundings, cutting through the darkness with ease. He turned, facing the edge of the forest to the west of the city. Razor-sharp claws dug into the roof of the spire, as his eyes burnt with wildfire, seeking out he who had been chosen to carry the flame. There he was, fleeing into the forest, into the cover of the dark trees. Trying to run from destiny.

Foolish man, he would soon see sense. Closing his eyes, he reached back into his mind, releasing the hunter within. He felt it flooding him, guiding him, infusing him with the power of the night.

Snapping his eyes open, he leapt, the air rushing past him as he fell, and landed heavily, the ground shaking, his strong legs absorbing the hard impact that would have seriously injured any other creature, and he crouched against the ground. He lifted his head, his golden eyes burning with dark fire as he looked around. His target was still running, the man had already vanished into the trees, but he could still hear him, and if he concentrated, he could sense his position.

He lifted his head high, standing tall on his hind legs, and howled, the sound echoing in every ally way and window. Birds started and flew, and the mob's torches halted, frightened cries rising from their confused mass.

Allowing his instincts to take over, he charged after the chosen target, leaping across rooftops and streets, growling loudly.

Nothing would get in his way.


As I said, a quickie this time.

So whaddya think? Carry on? Don't carry on? To write, or not to write, the question was something like that, but I like this version better....

Yeah anyway..
